Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SCRIPTURE BROUGHT TO LIFE Can drama play a starring role in revitalizing the church and helping people to see the relevance of Scripture to their lives in the twenty-first century? Dr. Wanda Vassallo shouts a resounding "yes!" Her firm response is based on many years of directing drama in the church and is backed by her scientifically-conducted research on the subject. This book explores God's origin of dramatic approaches in communicating with humans. This is followed by examples of the way the prophets and Jesus continued this method during His earthly ministry and the dramatic approaches used in Jewish and Christian worship through the centuries. Also covered are the beginning of world drama and the importance of avoiding the mistakes that were made when drama began to be used in the church. Careful description is given of 11 genres of drama-everything from the full-length production to a "dramatic moment." She explains how to work each one seamlessly into a church service or related venue, such as a seminar. A sample script of each genre is provided. Examples of the impact of drama on members of the congregation and on the lives of those who participate in the productions are cited. The last chapter is devoted to the results of Wanda's dissertation study and other related studies on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can preachers preach biblically faithful sermons that move listeners to positive action? An author on the cutting edge of contemporary homiletics and theology offers a fresh approach to preaching that helps listeners see themselves as actors in God's grand drama. Ahmi Lee presents a unifying "third way" in homiletical approaches (i.e., theodramatic) that reimagines the preacher's role in relation to the Bible, the congregation, and the world. The book not only helps students understand various preaching models but also is relevant to working preachers who want to critique and improve their approach. Foreword by Mark Labberton.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The addition of simple drama to sermons is effective in bringing Bible passages alive and involving a variety of church members in preaching. In this book, James Chatham invites clergy to develop a use of drama to proclaim the gospel. Chatham writes that the Bible is comprised primarily of stories--stories of the relationship between God and God's people spanning over more than a thousand years--many of which are so good that they need little explanation. There is no more engaging way to tell these stories, he says, than through effective sermon drama.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What better way to bring the Gospel alive for teens than through drama? Using reproducible scripts, the dramas in Lectionary-Based Gospel Dramas for Lent and the Easter Triduum "break open" the Gospels for Lent, Holy Week, and Easter, moving the hearts and minds of youth and adults alike. By engaging in these dramas, participants act as catechist, lector, Gospel players, improv artists, small-group leaders, and audience--a unique learning environment that allows young people to be catechists for themselves and for one another. The dramas are powerful yet easy to stage. The leader's role is purposefully minimal, allowing teens to take the leading roles in the production. These dramas have been used successfully in school classrooms, parish religious education programs, youth groups, RCIA catechesis, homiletic reflections at Mass, and retreats. This book contains everything you need to produce ten dramas, including 10 reproducible scripts and 10 full-page icons by Vicki Shuck, which are an essential component for visual learners. Imagine the excitement and learning your teens will experience as they live the Gospel through drama!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preaching is dramatic. Through it, we hear the voice of the living God as he speaks to us both through the reading and the preaching of the word of God. But where do the hearers of sermons fit into the drama? This book suggests ways in which the drama metaphor may help to address age old questions about the centrality of the gospel and the place of the hearer in preaching. As God in Christ is the central character in the biblical drama of redemption, he also calls hearers to understand their role in creatively, yet faithfully living according to the biblical script. Thus, no sermon is complete until God's redemptive work is powerfully proclaimed, and his people are instructed in how they too are participating in the Missio Dei. In this work, Hebrews 11 is employed as a means of showing how God not only reveals his redemptive work to his people, but also through them. As postmodernism sets the stage of contemporary preaching, The Drama of Preaching interacts with some of the particular challenges preachers face in engaging postmodern listeners, that they might not only be hearers, but doers of the preached word.

Book excerpt: I believe in Christian Theater Ministries. Nothing capture the attention, imagination, minds, and hearts like live theater. From minutes to hours, an audience or congregation goes wherever you want them to - from their own living rooms to the foot of the cross - and with every step, they become part of both story and message. I'm convinced there's no better way to excite and nurture God's people than a dramatic, theatrical event. Thankfully, these events don't have to be EVENTS! They can be as simple as flipping a light switch, or as complex as parting the Red Sea. But whatever you have time, energy and resources to produce will make a huge impact for our savior and His people. Theater Ministry helps you, step by step, to get a theater ministry going at your church or Christian school. It looks at where such a ministry has its greatest impact, and the various shapes it can take - from something simple that assists a pastor delivering his message, to an elaborate full length play or musical whose aim is to evangelize a community. Wherever God is leading your creative heart, this book will get you there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, highly esteemed scholar Kevin Vanhoozer introduces readers to a way of thinking about Christian theology that takes the work he began in the groundbreaking 2005 book, The Drama of Doctrine, to its next level. Vanhoozer argues that theology is not merely a set of cognitive beliefs, but is also something we do that involves speech and action alike. He uses a theatrical model to explain the ways in which doctrine shapes Christian understanding and forms disciples. The church, Vanhoozer posits, is the preeminent theater where the gospel is "performed," with doctrine directing this performance. Doctrines are not simply truths to be stored, shelved, and stacked, but indications and directions to be followed, practiced, and enacted. In "performing" doctrine, Christians are shaped into active disciples of Jesus Christ. He goes on to examine the state of the church in today's world and explores how disciples can do or perform doctrine. Written in an accessible and engaging style, Faith Speaking Understanding sets forth a compelling vision of what the church is and what it should be doing, and demonstrates the importance of Christian doctrine for this mission. Disciples who want to follow Christ in all situations need doctrinal direction as they walk onto the social stage in the great theater of the world. The Christian faith is about acknowledging, and participating in, the great thing God is doing in our world: making all things new in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Doctrine ministers understanding: of God, of the drama of redemption, of the church as a company of faithful players, and of individual actors, all of whom have important roles to play. In an age where things fall apart and centers fail to hold, doctrine centers us in Jesus Christ, in whom all things hold together.

Book excerpt: Faith and Drama contains thirty-four short plays and dramatic readings that have been performed in churches, youth groups, conferences and special events in the Middle East as part of a Christian theater ministry. In places where people dont have the opportunity to read or study the Bible for themselves, it is all the more important that each play reflect the message of the Gospel. And so these pieces were written to be entertaining, practical, and deeply meaningful. Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable (Matthew 13:34 NIV). I said, Sovereign Lord, they are saying of meisnt he just telling parables? (Ezekiel 20:49 NIV).
